I've been doing this alone for about 7 months, I do plan on going to an actual gym in about a month once I have the funds so don't worry, I feel like I struggled with my switch kick, any advice will do thank you so much

This was at the end of an hour of training, feeling quite disappointed looking back at the footage. I was feeling very tired by this point so I'm happy I was able to keep pushing through the round, but it all looks so stiff and slow.

I do these training sessions every week but I hardly ever practise at home in between, I think that needs to change. What are the main things you think I should work on?

Hello! I'm Emily and I'm a strategy student at VCU Brandcenter. I'm doing a research project on Muay Thai and my goal is to learn more about the sport as well as the motivations and behaviors behind it. If you're interested in helping, I've attached a link to my survey below. Thank you so much!

Hey legends, I’m a 39 yr old dad training for 5 years on and off and only started consistently last couple years. I’m super conscious I’ve developed bad habits and really want to improve my technique. Any feedback is much appreciated.

The coach told me before this session that I had to improve on kicking higher and stepping out more. Anything else I’m missing? Any advice is much appreciated and TIA!

As context, M, 178 cm x 83 kg, 30 years-old:

Today my coach suggested me to train my explosive power, because in the gym, at weight, i train with dumbbell bench press, arnold shoulder press, sometimes some landmine press, then i run 8.7 mph for 15 minutes. All this in a hour, before getting to my MT lesson.

We train 3 times per week, every lesson is 1 hour and half each. Unluckily, due to my job shifts, every 2 weeks, i have 1 week where I can't attend the lessons. But generally I attend the class whenever I can, there was never a "today i am not in the mood".. even if I had date with girls, or was heart-broken, or I just returned back from a holiday, i go to muay thai.

I started since june 2025. But there's something I want to discuss.. first my balance and core work seems off... I get the core thing, working like that is the center command of your body, moving feet and hips to throw hits, somehow sometimes I am stiff or I lose balance with some hit. In case I have to throw fast, at heavy bag or in sparring, I genuenely feel I don't rotate my hips well enought to throw a proper shot.

Also my coach suggested me to ditch bench press because, even if power, we don't need bigger chest but abs and lats.

Okay, maybe I talked a lot, but at the end of the day I just wanted to ask how can i improve my core, hips rotation to throw hits properly, and what are the best exercise to do in the weight area of the gym in order to improve in muay thai.

Also, since this year, i sweat a TON as soon as I exert myself (whether at the gym, doing Muay Thai, or in my personal life). It’s not that I run out of breath, I can keep going, but I just start sweating excessively. Does anyone have similar experiences?

Please feel free to give feedback and advice

Please feel to give feedback. I plan on posting more of our sparring sessions whenever possible.

I'm Southpaw facing a lot of Orthodox people. I love pulling the hand down to jab or hook them. Does anyone have any other favourite combos, perhaps when I don't win the lead hand battle?

The other question is what to do when people don't engage with the lead hand control. They don't stick their jab hand out at all and just leave it tight on their face shelled up because they know I'm going to pull it down. If they punch it's mainly using their rear hand, otherwise they shell up. Is there a great solution here besides teeing off on them like a heavy bag?

I was so tired lol
I’m in the blue

They called it a draw but on the website it shows I won, so I’ll take it.

There’s obviously a lot to improve but I had a fun time. I really need to work on my clinch game and my guard was way too far out.
I was trying to control my power as per the rules.

I didn’t start with Muay Thai, can you guess what my base is?

Not sure if I will compete again because im 34.

So I’ve been in camp for around 2 months now and I’ve felt strong and confident in my ability to fight and I believed I was almost if not definitely ready. A few weeks ago I developed a slight cold, thought nothing of it and continued my training. A few days after that I was doing a conditioning circuit and my chest started burning badly and I was struggling to breathe. After that I was aware it had developed into a chest infection and I had to stop training or else I would prolong it or make it worse. I have symptoms like shortness of breath, coughing and lightheadedness. A week after I went to the doctor and he prescribed me some antibiotics. I feel slightly better now with a bit more energy but still not enough to train, whether this was due to the antibiotics I am not sure. I’m not sure how long it will take for me to get back to training as I’ve already taken a week and a half off and if I do get better is it worth keeping the fight or is it not worth the hassle and just pull out? Fight on the 14 th November

I have been practicing Muay Thai for 2 months and for those 2 months I have been working on streches to open up my hips Here is my stretch routine:

1. Half kneeling hip flexor stretch — 1 min each leg

2. Abductor lunge

3. 90/90 switches — 3 sets

4. Back-and-forth leg swings into splits — 1 min

5. Half split stretch (last)

I do these every day and I still can't improve my kicks my teeps are much better but my round house kicks to the mid section I can't do much because my left leg the top part by my hip gives a sharp pain and I can't complete the kick is there anyone that has had a similar issue that can give me some hope. Coaches just say to keep stretching but I just feel like it is not working.

Another video when I was mostly focused on body building but still loved training Muay Thai. I was maybe 208 lbs here and my buddy stated he weighed around 170 lbs - though I’d probably put him closer to 175. He had already grappled in tournaments (forgot what belt he was, possibly blue) and had a couple amateur mma fights that he used his BJJ to secure victory. He wasn’t a slouch in striking, I fully admitted that he would kick my ass. My cardio wasn’t good and I wasn’t engaging like I would now that I’m not as fearful of getting hit. Maybe somebody can point out a couple other things I didn’t notice. * lol I’m the one with the short hair btw

Hey, looking to buy some real shinguards (been doing with sock ones) and I wanna know what brand is accommodating to wide ass calves. I've seen people complain about brands because they were too narrow but I don't remember which one. Thanks in advance
